Located in exciting Cañon City is the historic Royal Gorge Route Railroad.

Opened in 1880 after a long battle over who should have the rights to the new tracks, the Royal Gorge Railroad was once a line for the Union Pacific, but was sold in 1997 in an effort to preserve the 12 miles of track running through the actual gorge.

No matter the time of year, the Royal Gorge Railroad is running and offers not only extraordinary scenic rides, but also special rides like murder mystery dinners, family nights, Oktoberfest, and a holiday train.

What's on the menu? While we don't want to give it all away, we will say it begins with truffle honey glazed jumbo sea scallops paired with a Pinot Grigio and ends with Panna Cotta and a Mocha Java Blend from the San Luis Valley Craft Roastery Coffee.
